I am going to the video store to get some war movies.
I shall refer any any questions/complaints from my beloved girlfriend to this forum.

Yes Jeffl,the M4A3E8 was used at the battle of the bulge in fact it was there first trail by fire.I to have enjoyed the movie Battleground it is one of my favorities,also it was the most realistic movie of the war at that time.It was nomanated for an oscar and was played on TCM just a few days ago.Digger

Butch, that is something you don't see every day. A real Panther being destroyed for the sake of a movie. Would love to see that.

I Remember seeing a long time ago. I hope I get lucky and catch it on AMC or TMC.

If you ever get the chance, check out Theirs Is The Glory. 1946 I think. Operation Market Garden from the British side. Not so good acting or dialogue, but a lot of war surplus equipment. Oh, and they BLOW UP A PANTHER! The scene is way too short, but that has to count for something.

Jeff, I like that film also. I may not have been that cold in my Army days at Ft. Carson, but it sure felt like it!!

since im still.. well in my teen years, i would have to say my favorite war movie is got to be either enemy at the gates or the german movie Stalingrad (with english subtitles) and the scary part is, even though i have never taken a german class in my life, i can understand some of it. huh go fig.
